It seems like the .github workflows don't really belong in an sdist.
The docs perhaps do, but aren't in the current dist, so start off excluding those too (including the rtd config).

It doesn't seem like replacing these tests with roughly equivilent setuptools/build ones makes sense, since they would really be testing the third-party tools rather than anything internal.

The version is no longer handled by our code, so shouldn't need a test. The inclusion of the README is handled by the build backend, so shouldn't need us testing it. setup.py --check is for metadata checks that don't make sense for us to duplicate as pyproject.toml tests. We no longer duplicate the dependency list so don't need to make sure two copies stay in sync.

This also means that we can go back to using the default version of Python with the Github action.

Also ensure that we can install (and build, since that's how the action is configured) on 3.8 through 3.12.

Also fix quotes to be triple-double since that's what the linter looks for, fix the type of the version tuple, and add pip-tools defaults that silence warnings.

Also remove the outdated script for this (which doesn't seem to be documented anywhere).

…n be generated.

This feels really ugly. The problem is that ops.__init__ loads almost everything, so to get the version from there needs loading almost everything. We can't just get it from the simpler ops.version because __init__ will still be loaded when we load from the package.
